Buzzy Bee Crochet Pattern - FREE PDF Pattern

How cute are these sweet little buzzy bees?! I have been wanting to make a cute little crochet bee since I designed my logo and finally got the time to do it! YAY! Oh and even more exciting; the pattern is free to you!!

When my two little ones were babies I would sing the "Bumble Bee" song tickle them when it gets to the stinging part of the song. They now sing the song and sting each other. It was super cute because as soon as I gave them each a prototype to my pattern they got that look in their eye and started to pretend to sting each other.

While I was making these bees I thought "oh man these would look really cute in a mobile!" So, now I think I just might have to make a few more little bees and maybe some flowers and make a mobile!

These would also be cute as baby toys, decorations in a garden, or to decorate a cute little package to a bee lover!

They are only five and a half inches long and use basic stitches, so they are super easy to whip up. I have to say the little stinger on the bum and the heart shaped wings are my favorite part of the design!

I hope you enjoy this bee just as much as I do. I can't wait to see all your Buzzy Bees!

inv. sc2tog: (invisible single crochet 2
stiches together) – Instead of inserting
your hook through both loops to create
the decreasing stitch, you only insert
your hook through the front loop of
the2 stitches you want to
join together (decreasing into 1 stitch).
Then, when you yarn over and pull the
loop through, you finish like a normal
single crochet.

Hello, and welcome to my blog!! My name is Britteny. I am a wife to an amazing husband and a stay at home mom to two beautiful children. I taught myself to crochet whilst pregnant for my daughter. However, I intend for this blog to focus on not only crochet, but also my life as a stay at home mom, and homeschooling my children (a decision I made due to my local school system - and my elementary education degree). I hope you like it, and feel free to comment!
